Zhang Liu turned out a few woven bags from the broken wooden cabinet at home, and stuffed the quilt and some basic daily necessities and some change of clothes into the house, which cleaned up this poor home and there was nothing left, carrying the woven bag, holding the youngest sister Zhang Ya who had just been weaned in his arms, and behind him was the eldest sister Zhang Xiu, who was holding the second sister Zhang Fang, Zhang Liu said to the eldest sister Zhang Xiu: "Take the corner of your brother's clothes, don't get lost." ”

At this time, Zhang Liu missed the very basic small spells that he used to use, no matter how many things could be easily stored in and then dashing on the road, but at this moment, as Zhang Liu's teenager, he only had two hands, and he couldn't hold the other hand to hold the remaining two sisters.

Zhang Liu took his three younger sisters to the entrance of the village and waited for the bus that was never punctual to pull himself and his three sisters to the county seat, Zhang Liu himself could go over the mountains and mountains to the county seat, but his three younger sisters with short legs and weak bodies could not accompany him over the mountain road, even if they could, they would have already left the train when they arrived.

Sitting on the bench in front of the dilapidated "station" bungalow waiting for the bus, some villagers came one after another, and at first Zhang Liu thought that he was waiting for the bus, but later found out that these villagers were here to see him off.

It takes a while to look through the memory to combine the names and identities of these people with the image in front of them, and then look at these elders, some of them may have been stolen by Zhang Liu and smashed the doors and windows of the house, and even chased Zhang Liu with a kitchen knife.

There is not much money, twenty or fifty yuan, the village is poor, every family is not rich, and this little money is almost squeezed out, and some did not take the money, took clothes and quilts and the like, and some stuffed Zhang Liu with a dozen eggs in bamboo baskets.

Zhang Liu looked at the things that these elders stuffed into his arms, he was stunned and didn't know how to react, thinking about it carefully, he was born in a second-tier city when he was Liu Ling, his father was a civil servant, his mother was an accountant, and his family life was well-off.

That day, the aunt who was choked by Zhang Liu in the village committee took a red cloth and stuffed it into Zhang Liu's arms, and then straightened Zhang Liu's messy hair, and said: "Be careful when you go out, no better than in the village, people in the city are not easy to talk to." ”

There is also a dark-skinned old man, smoking a cigarette, saying: "If you don't have a good time outside, you will come back, farming is hard, but you have a mouthful of rice to eat, and you can't die of hunger." ”

Zhang Liu put away the stuffed things of these uncles and aunts, and said politely: "Thank you, uncles and aunts." ”

When the bus that didn't know what was on time finally arrived, Zhang Liu hugged his little sister, carried his luggage, took his eldest sister and second sister, and set foot on his way out of the village under the farewell of a villager.

Zhang Liu took a three-hour bus to the county, counted the money stuffed to him by the elders in the village and the only remaining more than 200 yuan in the family, saved it, and bought three train tickets to the imperial capital, hard seats, one adult ticket and two children's tickets, and the remaining one-year-old Zhang Ya did not need to buy tickets.

In the middle of the night, the train entered the station, Zhang Liu pulled the eldest sister and the second sister who fell asleep by themselves in the waiting hall, hugged the younger sister and carried the luggage, crowded in the crowd, and looked back at his sister, while struggling in the crowd, he finally got on the train after wasting his strength.

When he sat down in his position, Zhang Liu took out the big worn-out porcelain cup from his luggage, turned out the eggs sent by the villagers, washed the eggs away at the hot water intake on the train, and fed them to his two sisters with an iron spoon.

The eldest sister Zhang Xiu and the second sister Zhang Fang are okay to say, they are a little sensible, the younger sister Zhang Ya is still a one-year-old little doll, it may be that the eggs are a little fishy and not delicious, so they can't eat a few bites and refuse to eat anymore, Zhang Liu can't help it, turn the sugar jar out of the luggage, the little bit of white sugar at the bottom is the most luxurious food of the Zhang family, at this time I saw Zhang Liu turn the jar out, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fang both looked at the jar and drooled.

Zhang Liu asked the eldest sister Zhang Xiu to look at the second sister Zhang Fang, ate the remaining eggs, and told them to stay in their seats and not move, not to talk to strangers, and not to walk around with people they don't know, and then took Zhang Ya to the place where the white porcelain cup was put and took out a few spoonfuls of the remaining white sugar and washed it into sugar water, came back and let the sugar water cool, and fed Zhang Ya a little bit to drink.

This time, Zhang Ya didn't make a fuss, obediently drank the sugar water, and then began to play with a little milky fragrance, and was sleepy.

After feeding the three younger sisters and eating eggs, Zhang Liu stood up and let the second sister lie on the hard seat, and then took out the quilt from the luggage and spread it on the ground under the hard seat, let the eldest sister lie in, and coaxed the two sisters and said: "Eldest sister, second sister, sleep when you are full." ”

The poor man's child is in charge early, Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fang are very sensible, obediently lie down, and wait for the train in the waiting hall until midnight, they are already sleepy, and they fall asleep after a while.

Zhang Liu hugged the youngest one-year-old Zhang Ya, pressed the outermost seat of the hard seat and sat down, coaxing Zhang Ya, and after a while, Zhang Ya also sighed with a milky smell and fell asleep in Zhang Liu's arms.

This series of busy work made the passengers sitting in the hard seat opposite the table full of curiosity, and a woman who looked like she was in her thirties couldn't help but ask Zhang Liu: "Young man, how old are you?" Looking at Zhang Liu's delicate face, he said, "What about your parents?" Looking at Zhang Liu's three younger sisters again, she watched Zhang Liu's series of busy work just now, and the woman was full of curiosity and said, "This is your sister?" Just now, she heard Zhang Liu call Zhang Xiu and Zhang Fang her sisters.

Zhang Liu hugged Zhang Ya and relaxed slightly, leaning on the backrest of the hard seat, the straight up and down backrest made people unreliable at all, very uncomfortable, so after leaning for a while, Zhang Liu straightened up again, wiped the saliva that Zhang Ya fell asleep, Zhang Liu replied to the woman's words: "It's all my sister." ”

The man next to the woman frowned and looked at Zhang Liu, and said, "You go out by yourself?" Going out with your sister? What about your parents? What about your parents? ”

Zhang Liu was a little impatient with these inquiries, and said directly: "Mom is dead, Dad is in prison." ”

One sentence choked the questions of the man and the woman, and then Zhang Liu stopped paying attention to the two of them, and hugged Zhang Ya to close his eyes and recuperate.

Closing his eyes and feeling the flowing breath around him, the filthy aura in the air that mortals could not detect made Zhang Liu feel very uncomfortable, the environment of this world has been tossed and on the verge of collapse, even in the deep mountains and old forests like Zhang Liu's hometown, the aura is thin and full of filth, let alone other places.

It stands to reason that for cultivation, the environment in big cities will only be more unfavorable, if Zhang Liu wants to restore his cultivation, what he should do is to go to a more inaccessible place with less filth, instead of going to the so-called "dragon Teng" place of the imperial capital to toss, but the master has never made a mistake in the art of Kanyu Yili, and the hexagram says that if you want to restore your cultivation, you should go to the place that the hexagram points to, then there should be some opportunities in the imperial capital that he can't think of at the moment.

I closed my eyes and squinted for a while, but I couldn't sleep at all, because the filth that had been surrounding Zhang Liu gave Zhang Liu a general feeling of being in a "dung pit", which ordinary people couldn't feel, but after Xie Yong's remnant aura was washed and reborn, Zhang Liu could clearly feel that these filth were floating and rotating in the air, and then some filth stuck to the surface of people's skin, drilled in, precipitated, and accumulated in people's bodies.

Zhang Liu could feel all of this, so he couldn't help but feel uncomfortable, so that it was impossible to relax and fall asleep.

"Young man, why don't you do it for me?" A female voice pulled Zhang Liu out of his thoughts, Zhang Liu opened his eyes, and saw that the woman in the hard seat opposite him who was chatting with him just now was talking to him, and when he saw that he opened his eyes, the woman said, "Young man, you come here for me, your sister is lying down and sleeping, her legs are still on the side, you are pressing the edge of a seat and doing it, and you are still holding the child, where can you sleep?" Let's change seats. ”

When the man next to the woman heard this, he frowned slightly, but he didn't say anything, Zhang Liu blinked, looked at the woman opposite, and couldn't react for a long time, until Zhang Ya in his arms spit out a milk bubble, Zhang Liu came back to his senses, glanced at the frowning man beside the woman, and said, "No need, I'm fine." ”
